For about a week now, Fate has been glowering at Gus, stealing his toys, snarling when he came close. Gus has been studying her carefully, and tonight, in the farmhouse, he decided to take her on, and I have to say, it was great to watch. A preview into the future, I think, these two intensely active and playful creatures.

Gus has a lot of presence and moxie, as the video shows. He simply demanded that Fate play with him, and when she balked, he took her rawhide chew stick and barked and simply demanded that he play. Fate was shocked,and for once in her life, simply at a loss.

These two will have a lot of fun together. Come and see.
